While I was attending the workshop in Las Vegas on last weekend, my in-laws spent time with my husband and daughter. They left the hotel room around 9 am and came back after 6 pm.
From what I heard from them, they visited many different places for sightseeing.
During these two days, they seemed to walk a lot. My husband has a pedometer installed in his cell phone. It showed they walked 8 miles (12.9 km) on each day.
I was amazed my daughter could make it through all the long walk every day.
While walking on the main street, Las Vegas Strip, my husband saw many other children throwing a tantrum because they were tired from walking. He felt proud of our daughter, walking together at the same pace with adults. She never complained being tired.
When I heard that, I was proud of her too. At the same time, I felt happy that my becoming sick has contributed to building my family’s good health.
Since the discovery of my diabetes in 2014, my family has had an evening walking as our daily routine. We usually walk for 40 minutes, sometimes for one hour every evening.
Along with the daily walking, I walk to the school bus stop with my daughter every morning and evening. Probably we are the only one or two walking to the bus stop. The majority of other students come to the bus stop by their parents’ car. My daughter often complains about that. She would nudge me why I cannot give her a ride to the bus stop. I like walking with her. I probably keep walking to the bus stop regardless of my daughter’s complain.
She will eventually appreciate me for our walking habit. Or, she already has notices the benefit from our daily walking habit.
